Search Results: cheating in a relationship

A guy I've gotten to know and I often engage in a lot of banter.
We have the same sense of humor, so we often call one another ugly names and then laugh our asses off.
He calls me Quasimodo, I call him Dickhead. It's something we thoroughly enjoy.
We don't hang out outside of our mutual community, but we do often spend time together when we're there.
Recently I joked about his behaviour to which he replied "but you still love me" then waited for my reply. I pinched my fingers together a eventually said "just a tiny bit, but only if it's mutual," he replied by pinching his fingers like I did and said "just a tiny bit". Give two playful punches in my belly and walked away.
I jokingly exclaimed "Hey, my baby!" To which he replied "Doesn't it sit on your backside?" Referring to my ass. I laughed along and said it was a conjoined twin, and the two of us kept joking about my "twins" for a minute before I left.
We have interactions like this more often than not, which is why I thought he might be interested. However, I just now learned he is in a relationship with someone.
Is this kind of behaviour normal when you're in a relationship or would you consider it (emotional) cheating or whatever term you'd use?

I met a guy online YEARS ago, and when we 1st met, we were very much in love with each other, considering we were kids. We were dating for a few months online (lived 3 hours away, but he didn't have a car to visit, and I felt uncomfortable with the drive), so we never saw each other physically besides video calls/pics. I met a guy at my undergrad school and dropped him to pursue that relationship. But we have contacted each other at least once a year since the initial split to catch up. Each time I would hear from him, he would be with another girl while I was in the same relationship. He joined the military, and I was very excited to hear from him after he was finished because I still had feelings for him.

After he left boot camp, he informed me that he was stationed across the world without a choice and that we would figure out how to communicate best since there were time differences. Around this time, my dad passed, so I was in a bad mental state, but we were planning on seeing each other since he was going to move to a different location shortly while I was going to the same city for a school conference. He disclosed that he cheated on me with another girl by getting her pregnant (miscarriage), and he couldn't see me as promised due to military circumstances. I was devasted and told him never to contact me again. I spied on him via social media to see what he was up to, and he got engaged to another girl.

Recently, he kept popping up on my social media, and I decided to message him at the beginning of this month to check-in. He was thrilled I reached out. He told me that his engagement had been canceled, disclosed that he loved me, and said he'd pay for my flight to see him physically. I got weird vibes about it all since he didn't fully close the ex-fiance chapter and even had sex with her while we were discussing our future. I cut it off yesterday because he did not show that he changed. Do you think I did the right thing?

The risks:

• Everyone at your workplace might find out
• You might develop feelings for him
• He or you might lose your job
• He might catch feelings for you, and if you leave him he might sabotage you
• He will talk about your intimacy with other males at work, exposing you sexually
• You as a woman, will be called every degrading name in the book
• If relationship develops, he will cheat due to him being attractive
• Other females will feel jealousy or envy and try to sabotage you and steal him from you because again (he’s hot)

Pros:

• You will receive sexual satisfaction, and your sexual goals will be met.
• Your ego will be lifted momentarily because you smashed the hottest man in town.
• there's a tiny chance this individual could potentially become your future husband, soul-mate, and father to your children.
• You will be under the delusion of being in love during the time that you enjoy his presence and his attention
• It will be such an amazing experience for a while , and can completely obliterate any boredom in your life and/or depression.
• Smashing the Hot Guy at work. Could be a once in your lifetime experience. Never again to occur.
